Wow Dick Gordon

   
    
   
   

 

Sen.
Richard Gordon said Neri’s invoking of executive privilege was out of
place and invalid: “It only holds in a question hour. There are no
national security considerations, no problems on diplomatic relations
with other countries. And the topic is not a state secret that is part
of negotiations.”

Gordon said Cayetano “should never have allowed” Neri to invoke executive privilege.

Toxic

“He (Cayetano) was wrong,” Gordon said, adding:

“What
I believe is weighty in this hearing is Abalos’ bribe offer to Neri,
which could mean that he made bribe offers to other people.”

Pimentel agreed: “I think Abalos [made a bribe offer] to other people aside from Neri and [Jose] de Venecia [III].”

Gordon also said the ZTE contract “should not have been suspended [as the President has done], but junked.”

“The contract is poisoned altogether; it is toxic already,” he said.
